Not enough snow to ski

BeanMan · Jan 2, 2012

So we went riding instead

Colorado river about 500 feet below me

It was a good choice

It is a beautiful winter so far. We went elk hunting today and were in t'shirts.

Is that a Blur? I used to ride a Blur then moved to a Fisher HiFi 29er. Nice bike but someday I want a Tallboy.

Griz,

I almost bought a Blur. This bike is a Specialized Stumpjumper Expert with fox rear brain.

We've been #1 in North America for snow for the past month. Best little ski area no one's ever heard of - Eaglecrest.

Muskeg,

I'd love to have some of that 'Der. I've got a season pass at our local area, Powderhorn, but it is pretty thin.

How much vertical do you have?

MuskegMan · Jan 4, 2012

You've got us beat for vert. We've only got 1,400. Top elev of 2,600 ft and 6 miles from the Pacific Ocean. Community owned/operated. Shot two bucks off the road leading to the area this fall.

Is that Moab where you are bike ridin'? Have friends here that ride down there. Looks like fun and nice photos BTW.

Muskeg,

The pictures are from the Slickrock bike trail just east of Moab.

Looks like we are in a tie for local vertical. Powderhorn is 1400 as well, if you stretch it a few feet.
